Social Events

We are off for a bar meal in Gosforth tomorrow evening, if you are interested in joining us register on our website.

Professional People North East

Who are Professional People North East ? We were are a for single men and women over 40 in the North East who want to meet new people, socialise, make friends and enjoy life.

Professional People North East is all about our members, enjoying ourselves in a relaxed and comfortable environment whilst building friendships.

What do we do? Well we have regular events e.g.

Regular bar meal / drinks socials

a Saturday mornings coffee morning get togethers to kick start the weekend,

cinema, theatre, walks, discussions all coming soon

We are more than a monthly booze up group and whilst some events are pre-planned we often have ‘pop up’ events which are listed at short notice to keep numbers low not everyone wants to go out in large groups. As this group is members led feel free to add your own events to the calendar.

Most of our dining events will be capped at 10 members – this is so that we have the opportunity to talk and can get to know each other better.

If you are looking for pub crawls and ‘piss-ups’ … sorry this is not the group for you!

We are an easy going, uncomplicated group of single people – if you are genuine, honest and be yourself you will fit in well with the membership.

If you want to make friends and improve your social life, or just try something different then join us and get involved.

We will be having lots of new, varied and interesting events all over the North East on a regular basis.

………….

First and foremost the Professional People North East is a Social group.

We are based in the North East and our events are for members only though guests of members are very welcome to come along and join in.

We will hold most of our meetings in Newcastle or Durham though members are free to add other event in locations.

Professional People North East

Whilst the group is for single people it is NOT a dating site. There are plenty other sites on the internet for single people to join. This is first and foremost a social group, where people can meet each other and build friendships, if you meet someone at one of our events that you connect with it is a bonus.

We have plenty of things going on enable our single members to meet each other at informal and relaxed events, either mingling in a pub, the cinema or theatre, over a coffee & conversation meeting or during dinner or at one of our ‘Dating Workshops’.

This is a very friendly relaxed group. We hope you sign up and join in.

If you like to arrange socials then perfect we are always looking for people to get creative with events and lead the way.

…..

We are not going to define ‘Professional’ but here are a few thoughts if you are unsure … if you receive a salary (past or present) from an employer or your own ventures … or maybe you went to Uni (not essential).

You don’t need to be a high flyer, your role within an organisation is irrelevant and if you’re retired or no longer working in the organisation that is OK too. If you consider yourself to be a ‘Professional’ that’s fine with us.

…..

Single means that you are not married, living-with or in a relationship with someone.

Single includes separated – it does NOT include any of the above or ‘open relationships!!

I know sometimes it is hard for people to keep up with all the events we have running- but that is good – it shows we have lots on offer for you to pick from. To keep things simple here is a quick and easy guide to what is coming up in January 2014.

Please support the Personal Development Circle North East and it’s presenters as best you can by attending the meetings that interest you, coming along to our socials and forwarding details of our events to people you know who may be interested in coming along to our events.

The Personal Development Circle North East is a not for profit group. We deliver quality events for people at very affordable prices. Events will run whether 1 person or 30 people attend. We may make a loss on some events but make it up on other ones.

Restricted numbers apply to many events (due to the size of the rooms) except the socials and the NLP Cafe so early booking is recommended.

18 JANUARY 2014 – Saturday morning Get together – social meeting for Coffee in Newcastle

This is an interactive session and social looking at ways to de-stress over Christmas and make the most of the festive period.

Christmas can a stressful and sometimes difficult to many people for a range of reasons, perhaps it’s because they can’t be with people they like to be with due to loss/location/separation, maybe they can’t do what they want to do for similar reasons, finances, work commitments and family circumstances can dictate where and how we spend it.

This evening session is looking at how we can take control of Christmas, what it means to us and our perception of it through using personal development tools including NLP & Coaching.

Joining a membership group has so many benefits to us which is why they are so successful. Not only do they help us connect with other people with shared interests, build friendships they also can help create a sense of team spirit and pride.

We run several groups on the MeetUp platform – Parents North East, Professional People North East and the Personal Development Circle North East.

Our groups are designed to bring together people with shared interests socially as well as providing opportunities through workshops to develop skills to deal with challenges we face.

Whilst many membership or social groups refer to a group of people or a place where they may meet and often this revolves around an interest, occupation or activity, for example running, films, running, education, fitness, art and so on.

At Newcastle Performance Coaching we focus on bringing together people on a social level – improving confidence and self esteem, connecting with others with a shared interest, social networking to develop friendships. We are a friendly relaxed group and have new members join our groups regularly.

Joining groups, clubs and societies is very popular and most of us like the sense of belonging . Isn’t it nice to belong to something?

feelings of inclusion within groups result in higher levels of esteem.

joining social clubs, sports groups etc. are a great way to extend social connections;

building friendships with people they would otherwise not have met;

the opportunity to improve your social life,

spending regular time like-minded people who share their interests

learning something new or doing what you enjoy.

Joining groups is not enough – you need to come out to our meetings, connect with people and be pro-active. We’re all very friendly and sociable so you will be very welcome at our meetings, events and workshops.

Are meetings are mainly in Newcastle, Sunderland, Northumberland and Durham and locations/venues vary.

What’s an interesting issue we’ll discuss?

There is no set topic for the social.

Do members need to bring anything?

No, just turn up. I’m always looking for ideas for new events and to find out what members of the group are interested in, this is your opportunity to share any ideas you have or give feedback on events you have attended.

Who should come? Are newcomers welcome?

This meeting is ideal for new members to come along & get involved, to find out more about the groups and share any ideas for future meetings as well as to get to know each other better.

Why should people come?

To get to know other members, to find out what we’ve been up to over the last month, maybe there was a meeting that you couldn’t attend and want to know what was covered, to suggest ideas for other meetings or just to come along and say ‘Hi’ and have something to eat/drink.
